by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:09 am ET) Rangers infielder Leury Garcia enjoyed his most productive game in the majors as he collected three hits and scored four runs Sunday afternoon against the Astros.

Garcia, who grounded into a fielder's choice and scored in the opening frame, singled in the third, fourth and fifth innings, respectively. He finished 3 for 6 with four runs scored and an RBI in a 12-7 win.

Garcia is hitting .286 through his first 16 at-bats.

Chris Carter lifts off vs. Rangers
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:03 am ET) Astros outfielder Chris Carter smacked his ninth home run of the season Sunday afternoon against the Rangers.

Carter took reliever Derek Lowe deep in the eighth inning for a three-run home run. He finished 1 for 3 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in a 12-7 defeat.

Carter has homered twice in his last five games played. He is hitting .228 with nine homers and 22 RBI in 127 at-bats.

Carl Crawford productive since return
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:00 am ET) Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford turned in another productive day at the plate Sunday against the Marlins. Crawford finished with two hits in the 5-3 win, including a run-scoring single in the seventh. He also singled in the first and finished 2 for 4 with an RBI and run scored.

Crawford is batting .429 (6 for 14) with two RBI since his return to the lineup Friday.

Adrian Beltre homers in second straight day
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:00 am ET) Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre enjoyed another big performance as he homered for the second straight day against the Astros.

Beltre doubled in a run in the fourth and launched a three-run shot in the seventh for his eighth home run of the season. He finished 4 for 5 with two runs scored and four RBI in a 12-7 win.

Beltre has gone 6 for 14 with two doubles, three runs scored, two homers and five RBI in his last three games -- all against Houston. He is hitting .260 with eight homers and 23 RBI in 146 at-bats.

Chris Sale flirts with perfection
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:55 am ET) White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale flirted with perfection as he took a perfect game into the seventh inning of Sunday's contest against the Angels.

Sale (4-2) had his perfect game broken up by Mike Trout with one out in the seventh. The 24-year-old settled down and finished a one-hit, complete game shutout. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk in 98 pitches. It was his first career shutout and his third win in his last four starts.

"I knew warming up in the bullpen I felt loose. My arm felt good tonight," Sale said. "Warming up in the bullpen I felt like I was creating some good stuff and just wanted to transfer that out to the field, and it ended up working out tonight."

Sale has not lost a decision since April 18. He will get another crack at the Angels Friday night at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. He is 1-2 with a 4.56 ERA in four starts away from U.S. Cellular Field.

Scott Van Slyke productive in first start
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(12:48 am ET) Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke turned in a productive day at the plate Sunday against the Marlins. Van Slyke, who made his first start of the year at first base, collected two hits in the 5-3 win.

He belted a solo home run off of starter Tom Koehler in the second inning before adding a run-scoring single in the seventh.

Van Slyke finished 2 for 4 with two RBI and a run scored.

C.J. Wilson solid in losing effort
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:46 am ET) Angels starter C.J. Wilson turned in a solid performance but was outdueled by opposing starter Chris Sale in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to the White Sox.

Wilson was dominant early, but faltered late into his outing. He pitched six scoreless innings before allowing three runs in the seventh, including a two-run single to Alexei Ramirez that broke a scoreless game. The left-hander was charged with three runs and six hits over 6 2/3 innings of work as he suffered his second loss of the season. He walked four and struck out three in 107 pitches, 63 strikes.

Wilson (3-2) has allowed three runs or fewer in all but one of his eight starts this season. He has 3.88 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP in that span. The 32-year-old will get another crack at the White Sox in his next start at home Friday. He is 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA in three starts at home.

David Murphy homers again
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:38 am ET) Rangers outfielder David Murphy, who told reporters he was not 100 percent after colliding into the left-field scoreboard at Minute Maid Park Saturday, made his presence felt during Sunday's series finale against the Astros.

Murphy took starter Jordan Lyles deep for a two-run home run in the third inning. He finished 1 for 4 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in a 12-7 victory.

Murphy has homered twice in his last three games. He went 3 for 7 with a walk, three runs scored, two home runs and four RBI in his last three games -- all against Houston.

Matthew Wisler earns win in Double-A debut
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(12:32 am ET) Padres pitching prospect Matthew Wisler won his debut with Double-A San Antonio Sunday. Winsler, who was making his first start with the Missions after being promoted from Class A Lake Elsinore last Monday, allowed three runs on two hits over five innings. He struck out six and walked three during the outing.

Winsler is considered the team's eighth-best prospect, according to MLB.com.

Franklin Gutierrez nearly ready to start rehab
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:28 am ET) Mariners outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury, could start his minor-league rehab assignment towards the end of the week, manager Eric Wedge told MLB.com Sunday.

Gutierrez ran the bases for the first time since being placed on the DL Sunday. Wedge will not bring him back the Mariners until he proves ready to play every day.

"I'm hoping we can start [a minor-league rehab stint] at the end of the week," Wedge said. "But I'm not looking for him to come back just to be OK to play. We've done that and it hasn't worked. When he comes back, he's got to be ready to go. So we'll let that dictate how long it takes."
